A big jump in residential housing rental rates in July was a leading indicator in an otherwise stable consumer price index on the First Coast.

Primary residential rental figures increased from about $1,100 a month per unit in June to $1,325 in July, said University of North Florida economist Paul Mason. The figures compiled by Mason track economic indicators from Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, Baker and Clay counties, and he said the rental rate is the biggest jump he’s seen in months.
